A few simple math equations make it pretty clear as to how J-Law was able to work her way to the top of such a sought after list in the entertainment industry for the second time in a row.

Last year, she reeled in a reported $52 million in earnings.

The report states, from "The Hunger Games" franchise alone, Jennifer Lawrence was able to pull in a staggering $46 million in 2016.

That's a pretty fat paycheck if you ask me!

This makes perfect sense, though. The final "Hunger Games" installment "Mockingjay -- Part 2" reportedly pulled in $653 million worldwide. It's easy to see why J-Law is indeed ballin'.

In addition to "Mockingjay," the 2015 film "Joy," in which Jennifer Lawrence ironically played a self-made millionaire, raked in $101 million.

The success of these films landed Lawrence her upcoming role in "Passengers" with Chris Pratt.

So, we get it, Jen is ROLLING IN THE DOUGH. That much has been made abundantly clear... But which other Hollywood actresses are on this Forbes list? In other words, who did J-Law beat out money-wise in 2016?!
